This mattress topper has been a valuable asset to my bed. I have a thinner mattress and this added the height and comfort that was needed. It came nicely packaged so all I had to do was unroll the topper and put it on the bed. It was slightly bigger than my mattress on one side but was fine once I put the cover on. The cover itself is very nice, soft and durable. Even alone this would be a great mattress cover. I do wish it was waterproof. It is very comfortable to sleep on but moving or sliding on this gel can be more difficult. Overall I do recommend especially if you need to enhance a not so great mattress.
